Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[TheGreatPython]

Apart from Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis, none of the batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad have played well. These two batsmen collected 102 runs. De Silva and Mendis put on a 202-run partnership. Although Khaled and Nahid bowled somewhat well, we did not see better bowling from Bangladesh's two experienced bowlers, Taijul and Miraj. Taijul is not in good form. Taijul's performance in this series against Sri Lanka is very poor.



Sri Lanka could not score big. But the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is weak as usual. The top-order batsmen returned to the dressing room very quickly. Bangladesh team lost three important wickets to collect only 31 runs. My estimate was that Bangladesh could collect more than 250. But the way Bangladesh started the innings, it is very difficult for Bangladesh to collect 200 runs.

Bangladesh having good start with things were going into their favour bowlers were on target, but sadly they fail to take full advantage of this situation and bring themselves to the back-foot which is their own fault, and now they need to be patience and good at batting if they want to have something from this first test match while we have Sri Lanka at the 57 for 5 my feeling was they could be gone under 150 but two centuries bring them into game and 280 is good score in these conditions but sadly in reply we have Bangladesh also down with early breakthrough bring them down again and now things are on level for the both sides tomorrow first session is going to be important for the both sides with Sri Lanka can bring themselves into game if they are able to take few early wickets which will be enough for having good lead.

Sri Lanka playing their first innings 280 runs have been scored and  Bangladesh is batting and they have scored 32 runs And by loss three wickets.
Sri Lanka's first innings target he Not so good , but Watching Bangladesh's batting prefromance I think Bangladesh no cross the sir lank inning target.

[ZAINmalik75]

The Sri Lankan team lost the first toss and went to bat, but due to the aggressive bowling of Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan team lost five wickets to collect 70 runs. At that time, it seemed that the Sri Lankan team would not be able to score 200 runs, maybe they would be all out after 150 runs. But with the responsible batting of Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva, the Sri Lankan team is going to give a big lead. Bangladesh will have to get these two out very quickly. It will be very dangerous for Bangladesh. Kamindu Mendis is unbeaten with 75 runs off 99 balls and Dhananjaya de Silva is unbeaten with 83 runs off 108 balls. Sri Lanka team's current score is 217 runs for five wickets in 49 overs.

Yeh it's true that Bangladesh bowling give them tough time especially at start of the match as they dismissed some of thier important impactful player before adding any huge significant contribution and at that stage they were really in big big trouble but later the partnership between Silva and mendis reduced the mounting pressure on them and thus due to thier contribution they scored 200+ partnership with century of both of players, I taught it gona be again Bangladeshi day but to be honest I don't know what really wrong going on with them because at such crutical situation when they barely need a impactful partnership they are giveaway thier wickets which results in executing huge pressure on them, I think they should took time and build partnership which is really test cricket mean, otherwise things will be worse for them

1st Test game Bangladesh won the toss and bowling first Sri lanka on 270/8 and 3rd session going on off day 1. Srilanka lost wickets early they lost first five wickets on just 57 score after that De silva and kaushal mendis takes responsibility and charge on Bengali bowlers they played very brilliant innings both player scored centuries and 6th wickets partnership played by both players of 202 runs help team sri lanka to come back in this match and make 270 runs in 61 overs on bowling side Khaled Ahmed and Nahid rana both take 3, 3 wickets Bangladesh need to takes remaining two wickets now to also playing on same day.

The Sri Lankan team came out to bat against Bangladesh and due to the controlled bowling of the Bangladeshi bowlers, the Sri Lankan team had to lose five important wickets to collect 70 runs. But Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both batted responsibly for the Sri Lankan team. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva were able to score a century for the Sri Lankan team's team score of 280 runs. Sri Lanka gave Bangladesh a lead of 280 runs. The batsmen of Bangladesh are under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets in the beginning.

Despite Bangladesh strong start in bowling they failed to take advantage of this position 32/5. Srilanka in trouble after losing five key wickets early in their innings. But SriLanka didn't lose hope and played a remarkable partnership between Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis more than 200 plus score and rescued team for setting a challenging target of 281. Bangladesh take pressure early by losing early wickets and now face a tough challenge after losing theee wickets and scored a competitive total. I think the next morning session will be crucial for both teams with Sri Lanka aiming to cash in on early wickets and Bangladesh trying to make a partnership and build their innings.

In the 1st Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka team, Sri Lanka team came to the field to bat, Sri Lanka team scored 280 runs in 1st Innings, losing 10 wickets in 68 overs. The batsmen of Sri Lanka team were under a lot of pressure in the first half of the game, but they batted well at the end of the game.  Bangladesh team came out to bat and lost 3 wickets in 10 overs and scored 32 runs. I am waiting to see how the Bangladesh team will play batting in the 1st Test match.

[Tahid12]

Bangladesh always score low run in test matches and so is happened in today's test match with sri Lanka. Sri Lanka was in trouble but thry runs as well because Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both done century. And made total 280 runs. But Bangladesh situation is so poor. They lost 3 wickets at 32 runs. And i can see they have many new players in the squads. So no idea what will be going on up next. That's why i really excited to finished atleast 1st inngins to track new comers performance

[Patrol69]

Sri Lanka scored 288 runs against Bangladesh and were all out in the first innings. There was no chance of Sri Lanka's total of 288 in the first innings as Sri Lanka might have lost 7 wickets from 70 runs but in the seventh wicket pair Sri Lanka managed to put together a good partnership which helped them to 288 runs. Sri Lanka scored 288 runs in the first innings on the contrary Bangladesh did not start very well in Sri Lanka's first innings. Bangladesh lost 3 wickets to make the first 32 runs and Taijul Islam was sent to the wicket in the end without any professional batsman giving a wicket in the end so that no more wickets fell. If Bangladesh doesn't have a good partnership, maybe Bangladesh will end the first innings game far behind.

Bangladesh having good start with things were going into their favour bowlers were on target, but sadly they fail to take full advantage of this situation and bring themselves to the back-foot which is their own fault, and now they need to be patience and good at batting if they want to have something from this first test match while we have Sri Lanka at the 57 for 5 my feeling was they could be gone under 150 but two centuries bring them into game and 280 is good score in these conditions but sadly in reply we have Bangladesh also down with early breakthrough bring them down again and now things are on level for the both sides tomorrow first session is going to be important for the both sides with Sri Lanka can bring themselves into game if they are able to take few early wickets which will be enough for having good lead.

De Silva and Mendis' responsible batting made Sri Lanka big. A collection of 280 runs on this pitch is what I would call a big collection. Because this pitch cannot be called completely batting friendly. Bowlers get a lot of support from this pitch. So after collecting 280 runs, Sri Lanka will definitely be in the safe zone. And if the Sri Lankan bowlers bowl well, Sri Lanka will be able to take a big lead.

Sri Lanka started their innings very badly. As usual, Bangladesh's top order batsmen's performance today is also very poor. The Bangladeshi top order could not bat well and at the end of the first day, Bangladesh collected only 32 runs with the loss of three wickets. Bangladesh lost three wickets in just 8 overs. Let's see how the Bangladesh team started today.

[AirtelBuzz]

Sri Lanka playing their first innings 280 runs have been scored and  Bangladesh is batting and they have scored 32 runs And by loss three wickets.
Sri Lanka's first innings target he Not so good , but Watching Bangladesh's batting prefromance I think Bangladesh no cross the sir lank inning target.

Bangladesh still has time, maybe they will be able to use that opportunity. Bangladesh lost three wickets for just 32 runs and are in a complete disaster, maybe they have to come out of there otherwise they will be able to score very less runs in this match. If Bangladesh can't cross the 280 runs given by Sri Lanka then maybe Bangladesh will be behind Sri Lanka which may also cause Bangladesh to lose this match.

The pitch for this Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka seems to be a fast bowling friendly pitch. Of the few batsmen dismissed by both the teams so far, the fastest bowlers have been dismissed the most. The fast bowlers get an added advantage on this pitch as they are able to give away wickets regularly.

Bangladesh's batting in Test format is very boring to watch. Bangladesh got a chance to bat only 10 overs on the first day. And Bangladesh team lost three wickets in 10 overs. And Bangladesh cannot start the second day well. Bangladesh lost the wicket of Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Joy returned to the dressing room with just 12 runs.

Sri Lanka managed to collect only 280 runs. But looking at the batting of Bangladesh, it seems that Bangladesh will not be able to collect even 200 runs in the first innings. Bangladesh team managed to collect 65 runs after losing 4 wickets. Taijul and Shahadat are now at the crease. There are still two experienced batsmen like Liton and Miraz. Bangladesh can score high if these two batsmen play well.

[synchronym]

In the first test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the captain of Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field first, which was well used by the bellers of Bangladesh. Bangladesh's bowlers put in a very good performance which allowed Sri Lanka to bowl out for 280 runs. Sri Lanka's 280-run leader came down to bat, Bangladesh's batsmen of the first sari are all out, Bangladesh is again suffering from batting failure. The way Bangladesh are batting, it seems that they will not be able to complete the game of the second innings. Now Bangladesh's last hope is Taijul Islam and Liton Das. If these two batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can pass the 280 runs given by Sri Lanka and give Sri Lanka a new lead. Otherwise, Bangladesh will end the game in a very bad way in their first innings. But Liton Das should bat responsibly as Liton Das has not proved himself in ODI so if he can give his best performance in Test match then surely he can come back in ODI format then he has to utilize today's match and bat well.

With 7 wickets down it's seems very unlikely that Bangladesh will be able to collect 200 runs. It's also very likely that Sri Lanka might get lead of 100 or more runs in first innings and that will make them favourite for this test. Earlier we saw poor batting from Sri Lanka also but they have the benefit that Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis both scored centuries otherwise Sri Lanka too have similar fate like Bangladesh in first innings.

Sri Lanka gave a target of only 280 runs to Bangladesh it was a very normal target for a test match but Bangladesh have scored 141 runs so far but 7 wickets have fallen they still need 139 more runs for 3 wickets. I don't think it is possible for Bangladesh to collect 139 runs for these 3 wickets. So Sri Lanka will win this match. But still Sri Lanka should not play carelessly because Bangladesh can collect high runs by getting easy balls  So Sri Lanka should still focus on the game till Bangladesh lose all their wickets

[noormcs5]

In first test match Sri Lanka All Out in scored 280 runs against Bangladesh in first innings of first day test match. At start of first session, Sri Lanka didn't perform well give 5 quick wickets in just low runs but the partnership of Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis is match-changing for sri Lanka. Both played good innings especially Dhananjaya de Silva batting performance was outstanding scored a hundred and 102 runs and Kusal Mendis also scored an amazing score of 102 runs and helped his team reach 280 runs. Bangladesh current score is 32 runs in loss of 3 wickets in just 10 overs of the match.

At this time, Bangladesh had a very good chance to win but also Sri Lankan team did not come slow in the department of their bowlers where they had learned just a lesson which was just to take the wickets and nothing. Today we are seeing them play in a very better way and if this type of play continues then it will be great for Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh had to catch up 170 runs which I think they cannot chase without facing difficulties because at this time, their bowlers are on fire mood and they will not stop as we are seeing their bowling. It is the test match that’s why we don’t expect to see back-to-back wickets but in this match after some overs, they start to pick wickets and give as little a score as they can. The match seems to be in the balance at the moment and I think a lot will depend on how both teams bat in the 2nd innings.

There is no doubt that the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled very well in the first session yesterday. Sri Lanka's quick collapse was due to the excellent bowling of the Bangladeshi bowlers. However, Sri Lanka managed to collect 280 runs thanks to two brilliant centuries by Dhananjaya De Silva and Mendis.

As usual we saw poor batting from the Bangladeshi batsmen. None of the batsmen in the squad could bat responsibly and stay at the crease for long. I thought I would see better batting from Liton and Miraz. But Liton got out for 25 and Miraz scored only 11 runs.

Bangladesh has now collected 188 runs after losing 9 wickets. Bangladesh team is still behind by 92 runs. It does not seem that Bangladesh will be able to collect up to 200 runs.

Sri Lanka's three bowlers Fernando, Rajitah and Kumara bowled well. Each managed to pick up three wickets.

Bangladesh's innings stopped at 188 runs. Sri Lanka team got a lead of 92 runs. And after getting such a big lead, Sri Lanka's chances of winning are now high.

We did not see the expected good performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. A collection of only 188 runs cannot be called a good collection. Taijul scored the maximum 47 runs for the team. Besides, experienced batsmen like Shanto, mominul, Liton and Miraz can't bat well. Bangladesh team is not able to do well in test format even at home ground. Sri Lanka is not a very strong team. Even then, the performance of Bangladesh's players is poor.

Impressive Sri Lankan seamers bring Bangladesh down with their line and length which is good from them with now things are completely under control of the visitors they have 92 runs lead and now having their second inning in just 2 days we have 20 wickets with mostly seamers are in well control which is good for the game and both teams, but Bangladesh is surely needed to improve their batting quality which is bringing them down badly in last few months just Tajul Islam having 42 runs with all others gone cheaply.

Now we have nearly ~30 overs left in second day play so we can expect some more wickets for the Bangladesh they needed to be aggressive if they want to fight back this third session is going to be important for the both sides because if Sri Lanka able to secure 250+ runs lead then surely match could be out of the control for the home side.

As I told that Bangladesh will be in trail 30-50 runs but its 92. 2nd innings started and srilanka lost their 1st wicket which is not a good sign. Kushal mendis should play safe. Then can can through 400-450 runs target. Lets see what happen today.

It was really a worst performance from Bangladesh team. As a Test format match, Sri Lanka did not set much target in the first innings but could not touch Bangladesh's team. In fact, the main point is that the team line-up for the test match of the Bangladesh team is very bad. I think that if the squad of the ODI format of Bangladesh is kept in the squad of the test match instead of keeping you in this line, then Bangladesh can play a little better in the test format. However, even though Bangladesh won the last ODI series, I don't think Bangladesh can do much in the Test series and Bangladesh will definitely lose in this match.
Currently Sri Lanka start there any number second batting and there current score is 27 run with falling of one wicket.

In the second innings of the first Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, we all witnessed the batting disaster of Bangladesh. We did not expect such a bad performance from the few batsmen of Bangladesh in this test match. But the bowlers have batted better than the main batsmen of the Bangladesh team. Looking at the batting performance of Bangladesh, the surprising fact is that none of the batsmen could play with patience and even score a half-century. But Taijul Islam is saving a little bit of respect as he managed to score 47 runs.

Sri Lanka have already started their second innings with two wickets falling in 32 runs and they are also walking the same path as Bangladesh. Sri Lanka team leads Bangladesh by 125 runs, they still have enough chances to extend their innings and maybe they will do that and give Bangladesh a tough target. If the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team can give the Bangladesh team a target of 400 runs in this test match, then the Bangladesh team might be defeated.
